Isn't Craigslist still around?

Could this be done such that a person cannot prove that they voted a certain way (the source of the problems people mention, like vote selling becoming viable)?

Well what I'm seeing in this thread is two metrics, BLS and LISEP, with the argument being that the distinction between them doesn't matter because unemployment is right now historically low by both measures (I don't really know the difference between them myself, or whether these are the only meaningful ways to measure it). And you're reiterating that there exists some measure where it is high, but I think for that to be a convincing counterargument you would need to say more about what that measure is, show that unemployment is high by that measure, and make an argument why that specific way of measuring things is more relevant than the other ones.

Why not a one to two year break?

The comments you're responding to are not making that kind of general argument though, they are only talking about whether a specific claim makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, that doesn't necessarily mean our economic system is working for us, maybe it means that whatever problems exist would be better quantified in a different way.

Only 85% of the population owns a smartphone, I thought for sure it would be higher than that

You kind of need it for some programs (traditional roguelikes, some media players adjust the volume with numpad keys) so I wouldn't want to go without it myself, but to each their own I suppose

Literally billions of instances of censorship every year, the DMCA is such an awful law

The text under offers an explanation, but since it's a lie that makes it worse not better.

The lack of a numpad on that keyboard is what sticks out to me
